COVID had widened the gap between world's richest and poorest

[South Park]

There is also a place where their government borrowed a huge amount of money that is supposedly the fund that is going to be used to aid people that's suffering from COVID-19 and to buy health related stuffs that are going to be given to their people, yet, they manipulated the funds by buying "expensive" stuffs to counter COVID-19 to an unknown pharmaceutical company.

And now, the people from that place are the one who is going to pay all that debt, what a shame. I've just realized that even in the times of chaos, evil people will still choose money over humanity.

That is why corruption is so corroding, it is not only that politicians are stealing money which does not belong to them, they can even indebt the government and steal more money that way, and at the end the ones which have to pay for all of it are the citizens, which not only did not receive the services they need but now they have to pay for a debt they are not responsible for, and then politicians ask themselves why people hate paying their due taxes.

Very sad to see that the gap between the rich and poor people keeps on growing. I wish the politicians would start working for the people and not only the 1% of the population. The super rich already have so much money that they can never spend it in their lifetime. Of course communism is not the option, we can't just transfer wealth from the rich to the poor, that doesn't work. If a country would try that than all the rich people would leave and immigrate to another country that supports personal wealth like Switzerland or some Asian and Middle East countries. The problem is that rich people control the politicians with their money and many lobbyist. That is also why so much of Covid help funds went to the big companies and not the people in need. The only money for the poor people was also directly spend on food and housing, whereas the rich people are able to save all their money. Right now with new high inflation environment I am afraid we will be seeing the trend will keep growing, the rich keep on getting richer will the poor will stay poor. And we will also see some of the middle class families becoming poor again, because all the savings will be eaten away by inflation. Only the rich people will be able to save their wealth from inflation.

Who are the rich? The rich are the politicians and the politicians are the rich. So it is better to say that the politicians control the masses with their ill gotten money. I don't know about your country and where you are posting from. But in my country, Covid-19 made the poor poorer and made the rich richer.

The rich politicians had to lock the masses indoors without provision for food. When you sneak out to the street to see if you can get bread for your dying family, the government will arrest you and take you to quarantine centre in order to increase the number of Covid-19 patients. The people in the centre are well and healthy, but they needed the numbers to increase in order to recieve billions in their account for Covid-19 welfare.

They used schools and churches as quarantine centres so that they will not spend much. Such a period was supposed to be a time to pay attention to our depleted hospitals, but they won't renovate the hospitals so that common man will not benefit after Covid-19.

There was donation of foods from the federal government, but the state governors hoarded them in a warehouse so that we could all die of hunger and maybe after the Covid-19 they will start up supermarkets with the food items.
They are wicked. But they will not prevail for ever. If we could get $40 per week, one day we could get $100 per week and to $500 and soon we will not care about the wickedness of the government.  Then will the poor begin to help the poor.

We should know that as much as the  government wants to help the poorest of the poor or those low sector families, we can't deny the fact that the initiative should start to themselves, and if the country they are living just like in my country which is a 3rd world country, as much as you want to improve your finances the cost of living increases too much during this pandemic, government help many of my countrymen but without an action that will help themselves, it is not enough. There's no changes if there's no force or action will be done.

What they are doing is really shameful and even more cruel they are taking advantage of the Covid moment to commit corruption,
that citizens should get proper help but in the end it's all corrupted,
I think it's natural when people hate paying taxes because sometimes the taxes are used for things that are not important, not even to build better facilities

Lots of people died and lost their jobs during the pandemic and that's the time where they really need the help and support from the government but I wonder where the government gets the nerve to use the situation to pursue corruption.
They even used the pandemic to fill their own desire and use the taxes of people to get richer while their people are suffering.
Some politicians aren't concerned about the people and they just want to get richer while they have the position and that's a painful fact especially to those who are going to pay their debt. There's really no cure for corruption.

Covid has destroyed the world. Have any one watched the movie world war Z . although the whole world turned to a deserted land but thank God we didn't turn into zombie. There were other movie like black box which imaged how the world would look like when there is a disease spreading.
China is still in trouble and people are stuck in different counties.

Corruption is a very common problem and also that something cant really be stopped on some places or countries in the world where they do really took advantage on particular conditions which it isnt really just right
for them to abuse out for their own benefit but since we cant control up into their minds then you do really anticipate and do really happening  on  which government could mainly make profits
or advantage which is really that sad.Speaking of those gaps between rich and poor then its really that understandable, yes its really that sad to think off but lets face on
what are the thing that cant really be avoided.

[Wong Gendheng]

Yes, after Covid, the rich are richer and many people become poor, I also feel the direct impact of the Covid, which is to close the restaurant and some rental houses become quiet, before before Covid I used to get income from rental houses close to nature tourism, like a mountain and beach.

[Haunebu]

Honestly, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer all the time irrespective of how COVID impacted the world. Also, COVID screwed so many people irrespective of whether they were rich or not since it randomly affects living beings.

However, it was obviously easier for the rich people to survive when compared to the poor people when the pandemic was wreaking havoc everywhere.

The world is slowly and steadily recovering from this crisis, but new problems have emerged(Mass shootings etc) which basically proves how messed up our world truly is.

No the world is not recovering - we are facing so much trouble and after Covid affects.
People are jobless, the fuel prices are in not in range. The basic prices of the grocery has sparked so much - there is a complete chaos around. We are very upset.

Because they have the weapons and ammunition where as we have none of that. It just means that when the world is doing worse, they could use the cash they have and invest or do something that will benefit them according to the situation, whereas we end up with nothing.

When you have 10k dollars, which drops to 1k dollar, it is going to be hard to make it go back to 10k, but when you 100 million, that went to 10 million, it is easier to get it back to 100 million. When you have one job, and 30k in mortgage, and need to pay it and get laid off, you are going to be using that 1k as well, whereas someone with 100 million will never be unemployed, since they are usually not employed by anyone anyway.

[DrBeer]

In fact, any crisis widens the gap between the poor and the rich. COVID is one of the options, nothing more. Question about covid - tell me, how is the situation with covid in your country? What is the question. At the end of last year, and in January of this year, we in Ukraine had another "outbreak" of a new strain. Again, the whole country was vaccinated, someone refused, someone got sick, someone died. In a word - everything is like everyone else. But at the end of February, there was another round of Russian aggression, bombing and shelling of cities, many people in bomb shelters, hospitals, malnourished, stress, bad conditions ... In theory, ideal conditions for spread. But you know what? And they forgot about the virus! No mass diseases, no high deaths from COVID, no overcrowded hospitals... How is the situation in your countries with COVID?

Turns out to be fake? No its not because people almost on certain countries are vaccinated and on times like this where people are really that close to exposure then high chance of infection but we arent

seeing this one but instead its like there's nothing happening but to consider that each people now are really that on habit on wearing face mask which turns out to be default or casual thing.

In pandemic like this then much sure that there are rich fellas who do gain benefit on certain area but lets not generalize because there are ones who had been badly impacted.

Covid has changed the lifestyle of the whole world. People has started taking care of their chores. The family time and meet and greet has increased.
Now there is more trend of online zoom meetings and online work. But this has also made the rich realise that life is so unpredictable. Life has changed all together.

Not ready to say that Covid is a fake, because. I got sick myself, and I definitely don’t want a second time ... Covid, at least the first “versions”, gave very serious complications to those who were in the ward with me, and 2 people could not survive the disease
It simply surprises me that in the current situation, in relation to my country, where in cities subject to terrorist attacks, extremely "convenient" conditions are created for infection with Covid - it has almost disappeared! Either this stress strengthens and puts the immune system into enhanced mode, or ...
PS In Ukraine, the wearing of masks was officially abolished, although to be honest, they were massively stopped wearing around March 2022...

Covid-19 have made a big blow in everyone's life. In specific it delayed the regular growth of the traditional market. Businesses that started to progress slowly were completely disturbed. During this time period more potential investors turned millionaire through the services provided online. In specific education through online. In most of the families that depends on particular person for the betterment of the life got affected and many lost their lives. This affected the families to turn poor. This has widened the gap between rich and poor.

It sure did changed our lives.

People have more time with their loved ones and that's because we don't know what will happen once a victim gets the virus and contacts it with another relative.

It had really made a huge gap from rich and poor people.

Because look at the status of the rich people during the height of it, they almost have nothing to be worried about because they've got almost unlimited supply for their stocks unlike the poor who doesn't have that much.

[Rockstarguy]

The covid-19 pandemic was really a blessing to the rich politicians.  There are companies,  firm,  non governmental  organisations who supported the poor with food items and money for  the poor people to assist themselves, but the rich who are in charge of the money and food items shared large amounts of it between themselves.  The pandemic was an advantage to the rich people to benefit more.

[KingsDen]

There is poverty of money and poverty of mindset. Some kinds of poverty are induced also, for example, the religious leaders dish out some kinds of teachings to render us poor, the government makes some kinds of policies to ensure that the poor remains poor.

There's nothing the poor can do rather than to change their mindset. It's better the poor die changing their poverty mindset than remain alive and remain poor.

The rich exploits every situation be it good or bad. When there is war, the rich will benefit. When there is pendamic, the rich will benefit.  There's nothing that works for the poor. Even the rich benefits from the charity organisations than the less privileged.
Everything works against the poor. Even the Christians can confirm it that the bible (scripture) said that $100 was taken from the poor and added to $100,000 of the rich.
The only way to escape the shackles of poverty is to deny poverty.
